CHERRY BACON PIE

Yes, it’s CHERRY BACON PIE.

The Wall Street Journal wants to know: Has the Bacon Bubble burst?

We are in the midst of a bacon bubble—and a growing number of chefs (some of whom quietly admit they helped inflate the bubble to begin with) say it’s about to pop. Bacon had a good run, but now it has gone flabby—used too much and too often, it’s lost its novelty and coated fine dining with a ubiquitous veneer of porky grease.

BACON SPACE KITTY

Classic Bacon: The Wake ‘n’ Bacon Alarm Clock (that cooks your bacon while you sleep)

How many times in life do you get to say the words: “it cooks my bacon while I sleep”? Unless you have some sort of awesome bacon-optimizied robot, not many.

Enter the Wake ‘n’ Bacon Alarm Clock. Sure, this link has been passed around the internet more than any semi-self-respecting high-school slut, and, yes, that’s what makes it Classic Internet Bacon.

This is Bacon Technology Done Right. Witness this quote:

No one likes to wake up, especially by an alarm. This clock gently wakes you up with the mouthwatering aroma of bacon, just like waking up on a Sunday morning to the smell of Mom cooking breakfast. Unless you’re Jewish.

Notice the lack of fluffy language, the subtle semitic humor? Okay, that “Unless you’re Jewish” joke is something you hear a lot in bacon circles, and we here at sizzology cannot support such language, but you get what we’re talking about. These Wake ‘N’ Bacon people get it.

Tip: Add a tootsie roll to your bacon frying pan.

Adding a tootsie roll to your bacon frying pan gives your bacon a light chocolaty flavor when it’s done cooking. The tootsie roll melts and dissolves into the grease. Try it next time you cook bacon.

Obama Bacon Man gets in Slate.com’s video about the decline of the bacon fad

While I don’t support the Slate.com video’s thesis, I do support them using a clip of our Bacon Man video in their piece. You can watch it here:
